UNSPSC 50415202: Organic alisa craig onions

The variety of organic onions known as organic alisa craig onions

UNSPSC 50415202 Organic alisa craig onions is a Commodity code that nominally specifies a single produce line item, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it describe broad institutional fresh-produce procurement spanning multiple vegetable and fruit categories, eggs, and related food-service items for school nutrition programs, state operations, and child-nutrition initiatives. The code shows persistent activity from school districts, state departments, and county boards of education across the South and Texas, with the mix of solicitations suggesting that organic Vidalia onions or similar specialty onion varieties may anchor some bids within larger multi-item produce contracts, though the sourcing emphasis visible in recent RFPs and IFBs focuses broadly on domestic agricultural products, locally grown produce where feasible, and compliance with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards and Buy American provisions rather than on a single commodity line.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, driven primarily by school district child-nutrition programs competing under cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct institutional procurement. Recent representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, responses due March 4, 2026; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce to supply 127 campuses across the San Antonio area, due May 7, 2026; the State of Georgia's IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce to support state operations, due May 27, 2026; and Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles, due May 4, 2026. Most solicitations require sealed bids or proposals with line-item pricing, HACCP certification, $1 million to $2 million general liability insurance, compliance with federal debarment and E-Verify requirements, and firm pricing for 12 months with prospective price redetermination tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices. School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options extending three to five years, and school districts reserve the right to award multiple vendors on a line-item basis and to enforce strict quality standards with three-strike termination policies for quality or delivery failures.
